A Large Corps of Detectives Probably I,
Act as RnllieS IT the Polls rE0.ss,0xHOxU.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Sept. 19.-The city Is In fer.
rnent over the presence OF a large number Of de-
tectives suddenly conferred here, mainly from out
side the State and supposed In the interest of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad. The people of
the county vote next THURSDAY on the proposition
10 subscribe $500 600 to the Tennessee Midland
Railroad, which is TO run from Memphis through
Nashville to Bristol, where it connects with the
Virginia Midland, this giving competing line
east. The Louisville and Nashville has been
fighting the proposition, and iJ Is rumored that
these detectives are here to dog the citi-
zens OF Nashville. and who under the
pretenSe OF work at the polls are to be
used as poll bullie5. Whether for one or all of
these purposes the act is the most startling and
dannaole outrage ever perpetrated in Tennessee.
No language can properly characterize this In
dignity. The men brought here are not here as
supervisors OF an election. They are here in O
particular interest, right or wrong, and that to
the purpose or taking fife If necessary. 1t would
be an insult to the authorities to warn them OF
their duty. A large proportion Of the men Of
NASHVILLE were once soldiers, but more peace
able and law-abiding set OF men cannot be found.
Yet their virtues In bearing and fO-beartng seem
to be mlSapprehended. We can say one thing TO
this gang OF spies: II they are here on any bust
ness connected with our Thursday election, they
had better do one OF two things, enter disclaimer
and retire, or increase their force and go into
camp.

Singers Wives and Wealth..
THE DEATH OF DUKE RECALLS MEMORIES OF HI
ECCENTRIC WAYS.

THE DEATH OF DUKE RECALLS MEMORIES OF HIS
ECCENTRIC WAYS.
From the Chicago Inter-Oc
A recent cable dispatch announced the DEATH at
Paris OF the Duke Canepo Selice, who was de-
Scribed as the husband of one Of the beautiful
daughters Of Isaac NJ. Singer. The duke died OF
heart disease and was a millionaire. Hardly a
twelvemonth passes without the occurrence OF
some incident, either foreign or domestic, which
recalls memories OF the patentee and first manu-
facturer OF the Singer sewing machine, Issac NJ.
Singer whose immense wealth and total disregard
for matrimonial bonds made him notorious on
both sides OF the Atlantic. Singer was born in
Massachusetts, but spent the greater portion OF his
early life In an around New York city. After OBJ
tanning his patent Singer In order to protect HIM
self against Howe, associated himself with law
yer named Clarke in the manufacture OF machines.
Clarke managed the business and in reality made
the money for Singer. After the organization in
1853 the style OF the firm was Isaac NJ. Singer a.
Co., Clarke being the company. Singer made the
the years Of 1853 and for during the latter
year the company was Incorporated as the Singer
Manufacturing Company. and Singer himself, hay
ing been married about four times more than the
law allows, sold all OF his property, retaining only
some OF the stock OF the newly -Organized COM
pany and crossing the Atlantic took up his resi-
dence in England With the one OF his five wives
with whom he was most impressed at the time.
Here Singer died in 1874, and litigation Of his es-
tate OF over fifteen millions Is not yet ended.
The wife OF the Duke Campo Selice Is thought by
Chicago persons who know something OF Singers
history to be one Of the children OF the union
maintained by Singer and one OF his wives for ten
years in England. Several daughters OF the re-
nOwned Singer resided in New York city and
attracted considerable attention through their
great personal beauty and style. Some three
years ago the noted actor, Frank c. Bangs mar
ried one OF them, but a sensational separation
followed the wedding before the honeymoon was
passed. and later on the actor Instituted suit for
divorce. Some time within q year past an enter
prising newspaper correspondent I'm arthed, as 1t
were, one OF Singers widows down on the jersey

ten years. He is or rowing nature, however, and

A Base hail Unplcasantness.


In an interview with a Ptttsburg Post reporter
last night John Ward, Of the New York Base Ball
Club and president OF the Brotherhood OF National
League Ball Players, stated that President Young
and his colleagues had far refused to recognize
the brotherhood. They were willing to confer with
committee OF league players but not a delega-
ton from any brotherhood. "If this resolve is
persisted In" said he 'there will be trouble The
brotherhood has come to stay and not one OF us
will sign contract until delegation from our Or
gan1zattOn cGnfers with the representatives of the
National League. They must recognize us as an Or
ganization. President Young and theirs look upon
us as something weak, but they will find out their
mistake II conflict takes place" 'If the league
steadfastly refuses to recognize your brotherhood
formed?" 81 am not at liberty to say what will
do. Let me say. however, that there is plenty OF
or league. We know OF any amount OF capitalists
who want to invest their money in base ball.
viii go further and say that we will be recognized
as an organization and we will play next year
whether the league people like it or not"

THk FATAL MISTAKE OF A YOUNG ENGLISHMAN
WHILE HUNTING ANTEIOPEs.
Laramie, Wyo., special says: A young English
man named A. W. Whitehouse, while out hunting
antelopes last evening near Howard Windhams
Twin Mountain ranch, shot and instantly killed
his chum and companion, Geo. II. Gordon. The
two were graduates OF Oxford College and the sons
Of wealthy English parents. They arrived in
America three weeks ago and came West to en-
'Windham's ranch, they saw two antelopes, and,
with their rifles started In pursuit They soon lost
other In gulch. Gordon Started up one side and
Whitehouse crept along the bottom. 1t was now
dusk suddenly Whitehouse caught sight Of an
ahead of him. After watching it for some time he
decided 1t was mountain lion and fired. The OBJ
5ect fell. Fearing that 1t was only wounded, and
having heard OF the ferOcious nature of these ami
mails when In that condition, he fired three times
more, and then, parting the bush, approached the
spot where the object had fallen. He was struck
DUMP with horror on finding that one of his bullets
had entered the temple OF young Gordon and that
life was extinct.
